Description

First portrait of Negus Hailé Selassié made by Italian television. The descendant of the Solomonid lineage, the last emperor of Ethiopia, forced into exile by the fascist invasion between 1936 and 1941, when he returned to his country after the liberation of the Allied Forces. In 1965 Selassié, considered a new messiah for Rastafarianism, was still in office, the empire of Ethiopia ending in 1974, a year before his death. (1965)
